ALVES
The first thing to do if there is a fuel fire or leak is stop engines, turn off ignition
and engine battery switches and close fuel shut-off valves by turning them
perpendicular to the hose. They are located in the cockpit locker, looking
forward over the generator at the back end of the fuel tank. If there is fuel in the
bilges, close valves, find the source of the leak and then clean bilges.

UPPRESSION
An automatic, heat-activated, fire suppression system is installed in the
generator compartment. It can be activated manually at the helm station. To
prevent the engines from evacuating the fire suppression agent when it
discharges, the system will shut off blowers and generator. Refer to the manual
for maintenance instruction. (
note: No fire suppression system is installed if no
generator is present)
Hand-held fire extinguishers (see
Emergency Diagram
page 5 for locations) are
rated to fight type A, B & C fires. To extinguish a fire, first cut the source of fuel
to the fire. In a fuel fire, turn off the fuel tank valves. In an electrical fire, turn off
the
BATTERY
switches.
Fire safety begins with prevention. Reduce fire risk with these guidelines:
Don’t allow debris or oily rags to collect anywhere.
Check bilges for oil or fuel regularly.
Shut down unnecessary circuits when leaving the boat.
Don’t leave heat-producing appliances or equipment unattended.
Inspect fire suppression equipment regularly and learn how to use it.
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide. It’s colorless, odorless and
lethal. Avoid inhaling. Inspect the exhaust system regularly. Idling engines at a
mooring or at a dock isn’t good for the engine and may allow gasses to
accumulate in the cockpit or cabin.
Don’t work on any mechanical or electrical equipment unless you’re
qualified. Electrical current and moving parts are dangerous and can be lethal.
